on a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. the key to a sincere smile however, is simple. its to be excited. but thats the source of the problem. when meeting people, instead of being excited, i often felt upset.but we all know friends are important. the more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, whether its job opportunities, a romantic relationship, or business partners. so a smile is important to make others feel comfortable. mother teresa said, “every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”the smile im now talking about is not to make a face to cashiers(收银员) or waiters. im talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. so ive discovered a trick. and i call this technique(技巧) “oh, its jamie!” when i meet someone, i imagine an old friend of mine called jamie who was my first friend when we were still kids. its no secret why my smile is as wide as i can possibly make. and its not just the smile, but my tone and attitude that turn warm as well.and the best part, whenever youre friendly to others, they turn friendly in return. youre not hearing this from me. some research done by scientists actually backs this claim. so do remember to give it a try.three years ago at the age of 23, i took a long hard look at my life and decided that i was nothing. tired of my life, i set about making dramatic changes and now i have become a popular writer. my success reflects(显示) that nothing is too difficult if you try bravely.21what do we know from mother teresas words in paragraph 2?a. we cant live without the help of our friends.b. a smile is important to make others feel comfortable.c. many people dont know the importance of a smile.d. people who always smile are sure to have many friends.22which of the following sayings can we infer from the passage?a. a friend in need is a friend indeed. b. every road leads to rome.c. a good beginning is half success. d. try and try, never say die.23the author writes this passage mainly to _.a. tell us how to make friends b. tell us how he achieves successc. encourage us to perfect our smile d. describe what a sincere smile is24from paragraph 1 we learn that the author _.a. found it difficult to show a sincere smile to peopleb. felt excited but nervous when meeting peoplec. became an introvert because of his surroundingsd. didnt want to smile at othersbderek rabclo is not the only surfer to conquer hawaii s famous pipeline big wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. thatsbecause he is completely blind.when derek was born, over 24 years ago, he got his name from derek ho, the first hawaiian surfing world champion. a surfing enthusiast himself, emesto dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. unfortunately, derek was born completely blind, but this didnt slop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.at age 2, derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of guarapari, brazil, became his backyard. he was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didnt actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. his father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practicing, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve emestos dream and become a professional surfer. so he joined the praia do moroo surfschool, where he studied under coach fabio maru.standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on hawaiis board-breaking pipeline is another. but thats exactly what derek rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. and he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like kelly slater and mick fanning. now 24, rabelo has been surfing the pipeline every winter since.25what does the first paragraph

way to god. knew his fathers dream had come true28which of the following words can best describe derek according to the last paragraph?a. brave and confident. b. skillful but proud.c. thoughtfuland

cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually. “this is not an a-to-a service it is a-to-b,” says richard steinberg, chief executive of the drivenow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi. whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. a midmorning drive from union square down highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long. most of the cars that are stuck in san franciscos traffic jams (交通阻塞) are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. but not drivenows bmw activee cars. “all the cars in san francisco are electric,” mr steinberg says.in san francisco, handing back the car to drivenow is easy just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. there are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming (耗时的) rules. several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example daimlers car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.“we picture a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world,” says car2go spokesman andreas leo.franck leveque, from company frost & sullivan, agrees.“car sharing is growing at a pace we have not seen before,” he says. “by 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in europe alone, with 140,000 vehicles in operation.”29. what does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?a. start offering. b. stop improving. c. make use of. d. take control of.30. the drivenow scheme _.a. works better in rush-hour traffic b. makes city driving less

for non-native speakers to learn. one reason is that english has so many rules. 36 sometimes, this leaves learners confused(混淆). for example, the order of words in a sentence can be tricky.37 the pronunciation of english words cannot always be judged by their spelling. for example, there are at least six ways to pronounce the group of letters spelled o-u-g-h. and, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions, in english. 38so, it is comforting to know that learning root words can help a non-native speaker use english. 39 root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings.learning just one root word can help you understand several words in english. 40then where can a root be found? a root can be any part of a word that carries meaning: the beginning, middle or end. prefixes, bases, and suffixes are types of roots. the prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end.a. a root word is the most basic form of a word.b. the english have always been fond of all kinds of rules.c. you could say we use idioms like theyre going out of style.d. and there are almost as many exceptions(例外)of those rules!e. most english root words came from the greek and latin languages.f. another reason why english is hard to learn is the pronunciation of its words.g. so, by learning 20 or 30 root words, you can increase your vocabulary to hundreds of more new words.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a, b, c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。mr. thomas had
